SIGNEG;
content: The world spins around you as the warp panel teleports you to another room. It's not as disorienting now that you're used to it, and you only stumble once as you regain your bearings and look around you. Spotting an item on the floor, you collect it and pocket it when you realize its a Full Restore (honestly, how does anyone, even a Grunt, drop something so useful?), then take a good look at your surroundings.
This floor, like most of the others, has a cold, impersonal feeling to it, though that is only a passing thought when you spot the tanks. A chill runs down your spine and you wonder if you even want to know just what is suspended the green liquid even as you approach the anxious, pacing Researcher who stands just a few feet away from you. You don't even have a chance to say anything before he starts talking. "I feel awful about what we did..." He begins, wringing his hands. "This experiment went too far... I'm not sure if I can stomach what Master ***** has planned..."
Those words only confirm your fears and you bolt down the hall as fast as you can go, running between the rows of tanks until you run into a woman right where the hall changes directions. She gags and pulls away from you when you ask if she's feeling alright. "Urff... I feel too sickened to say anything..." She covers her mouth with her hands. "But that thing we made... What is it going to be used for?" The scientist turns away from you, retching, and it's all you can do to not be sick yourself. If whatever happened her was so terrible that the people who worked on it are horrified, then things are worse than you had thought.
You start running again and narrowly miss running into the doorframe as you charge through... Only to bring up short when you realize what, exactly, is in this new room.
Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie are trapped inside machines, barely able to move. You forget to breathe for a minute as you process the sight and before you know it, your feet have carried you straight to Uxie, then Azelf, and then Mesprit; their ways of showing it are all different (Uxie has its eyes shut tight, Azelf is shuddering, and Mesprit's tails twitch) but it's clear they're all suffering through terrible pain.
How could anyone do this? You can't understand. You knew Team Galactic was crazy and ruthless but never in your wildest dreams would you have thought they were capable of something like this...! Out of the corner of your eye, you spot two men standing at a computer in the middle of the room and your horror quickly shifts to raw fury. They're just standing there like the pain these Pokemon are going through means nothing!
You storm up to them just in time to catch the tail end of their conversation.
"Fuhyahya! Those Pokémon of the lakes, where do you suppose they would go?" The older man laughs and the younger man, Saturn (you've met him before, battled him before) turns to look at him. "What are you trying to say?" Saturn sounds wary, cautious in contrast to the old man's amused and sarcastic tone.
"Nothing. Pay it no heed." He waves his hand dismissively. "A new world isn't overly interesting. What of it? If ***** is right, then Team Galactic will rule that new world. That's when it will be interesting. A chance to enjoy its sweets. I surely hope that our visionary ***** realizes his dream. I look forward to whatever our beloved leader has planned atop Mt. Coronet."
Saturn scoffs and looks away like the old man disgusts him. "Gramps. Our boss can do without your kind of moral support."
You've heard enough, so you reach out and grab Saturn's arm and yank on it, making him whirl around to look at you. It takes him a couple seconds but he recognizes you and starts to look confused. "You... You came all the way here just to save some Pokémon? ...Though it's nothing new, I can't say I understand our boss... Why would he let a kid like you come and go freely...? We, Team Galactic, take all that we need, and eliminate what we do not." So ***** is an enigma even to his own Commanders? It's not a surprise, when you think about it. Saturn looks confident as he pulls a Poke Ball from his belt. "But anyway. You've taken the trouble to come. Let me welcome you! Consider it payback for your insulting me at the lake."
In the following battle you curbstomp Saturn's team with ease, holding nothing back because you don't have time for this, you want him out of your way so you can free the three Pokemon—
"You're tough, kid! But, I still pity the likes of you." Saturn admits as his Toxicroak topples to the floor and then scowls. "...Gah! What makes you so tough? Fine... do whatever you want with those three Pokémon. Press the button on that machine to set them free." Begrudgingly, he steps aside so you can access the panel and you outright lunge forward to slam your hand down on the button.
The steady thrumming of the prisons cease as their power is cut off, the barriers holding the lake trio in disappearing in a heartbeat. The freed Pokemon slowly float out and vanish. The tension in your body fades away and is replaced with sheer relief.
"What were you doing here?" You ask Saturn. No, not ask, you demand an answer and its clear from your voice, clear and commanding in a way you rarely speak outside of a battle.
He meets your gaze reluctantly. "Our boss crafted a Red Chain from crystals he took from the three Pokémon. That Red Chain is what he needed to shackle something on Mt. Coronet. It's also apparently needed for creating something. But that's all I know. Who knows what he's planning to do up there." He brushes past you and leaves in a hurry as you stand rooted in place from shock.
"You... You..." You're at a loss for words. No wonder the scientists outside are so horrified and full of guilt!
The old man hasn't moved from his spot since you started talking to Saturn though you had completely forgotten about him; You only remember his presence when he starts to mutter. "Humph. Saturn and even ****** fall to a mere child... Team Galactic's state of affairs is worrying... That plan of *****'s atop Mt. Coronet, too... Who knows if it will work. ...Hmm. Perhaps another option needs to be considered. One befitting the genius of Charon!"
...That's right, both ***** and Saturn had mentioned doing something on Mt. Coronet! You had nearly forgotten in your shock over the creation of the Red Chain.
Leaving this horrible laboratory behind, you start running again, this time for the exit. You need to get to the mountain, and fast.
